Lovely little place to stay. Very clean and tidy inside, the only things that let our stay down was the hot tub was far too hot upon entering and didn't seem to be any button to reduce the temperature so we couldn't really use it and there were weeds growing through the wooden fencing around the decking and the shower tray was very slippy when in use and there were many incidents of almost injury from slipping whilst showering. Not good for someone who has metal works in place of missing spine in his neck as my husband has and cannot risk falling as it would cause serious complications for his health. However, the outside space where you park and enter the pod looked really tidy and smart, clearly alot of work goes into maintaining a good standard.
The farm walk wasn't as expected, the website read that we'd be able to walk around the farm (obviously not amongst sheds or the main bit of the farm) but it was a walk down the shilled track and then into a mini wood so not as we'd expected. However, great location, clean and tidy and would definitely stay again if we're ever up that way again. Location short drive to the local town with lots of choice for a range of shops/ takeaways.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review of your stay with us and thank you for your feedback.
Our wildflower planting areas can be quite vigorous in the summer months and we appreciate it can grow through the fence line and look unsightly.
We haven't had anyone raise the issue of the shower tray before so we will have a look at that. Unfortunately our farm walk can't be near the farm building for health and safety reasons however the walk does extend past the mini wood for another half hour and guests have commented on seeing wild deer and owls however we appreciate it wasn't what you expected.
We are pleased you enjoyed your time despite this and hope you family outing to the zoo was a success.
Lovely wee place

Had a lovely stay at Springfield Farm Holiday Pods. The pod was really roomy, beautifully clean and kitted out with everything we needed. The views from the hot tub were lovely and the fenced in garden area around the back of the pod was great for letting the dog out and knowing he would be safe.
Brilliant customer service - and good location for getting into Edinburgh but feeling like you had countryside to come back to.

The pod was lovely and clean, everthing you needed was provided. The hot tub was lovely and warm with views over towards the Pentland hills. So many homely touches, we loved our stay so much, was a much needed break. Would definitely book again.

It was a very beautiful and lovely place, very calming, and the most important thing was that there was a hot tub, so the cold didn't bother me. The only problem was that when washing the dishes, the hot water would run out, and I had to wait for it to get hot again.

Stayed here here with dog for a weekend break. Pod very spacious and comfortable. Our dog loved the treats that were left for him. We didn't get around to trying the hot tub, the fog didn't clear up until the morning we were leaving. Beautiful view from the Pod when the fog lifted. Only negative for us was having to climb back out of bed to switch the lights off. A switch near the headboard or a better lamp for reading by would have been handy. In saying that wouldn't hesitate to book again or recommend to friends/family.
